6. Push the purple handle into the drive carrier. This seats the drive in the
LANserver EX3. You'll hear a click when the drive is fully seated and the
handle latches in place.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 for the remaining drives.
The MEDIArray ZX3 drive enclosure lets you expand your storage capacity
by adding one enclosure to the LANserver EX3. When expanding with a
MEDIArray ZX3 chassis you must take the following into consideration:
• Spares drives must reside in the chassis that they are intended to be used
in. You cannot repair a bad disk in the LANServer EX3 chassis and use it
as a disk in an attached MEDIArray ZX3 chassis or vice versa.
• Once a disk has been added to the data set it must not be moved between
the LANshare and the ZX3 chassis. Doing so corrupts the data on that
disk.
The Avid MEDIArray ZX3 Setup Guide contains complete installation
instructions.
To connect the MEDIArray ZX3 drive enclosure to the LANserver EX:
1. You can mount the MEDIArray ZX3 drive enclosure on a desktop near the
LANserver EX3 or in a rack directly above or below the LANserver EX3.
Do not set the MEDIArray ZX3 drive enclosure directly on top of the
LANserver EX3. The LANserver EX3 is not designed to support heavy
loads placed on top of it.
2. Locate the 10-foot (3-meter) optical cable that came with the MEDIArray
ZX3 kit.
3. Attach the connector on one end of the cable to the INPUT connector on
I/O Module A on the back of the drive enclosure. Secure the optical cable
by firmly pushing the connector into the optical port.
4. Attach the connector on the other end of the cable to one of the optical
connectors on the back of the LANserver EX3. Secure the optical cable by
firmly pushing the connector into the optical port.
